INTRODUCTION
Micro
Seven Model AP70, PC-Alarm Panel or Alarm-Panel Simulator, transmits
Contact-ID, Pulse 4X2 or SIA-FORMAT alarm messages to alarm receivers by
starting commands sent at RS232C interface in PC. PC sends ASCII alarm message
for Contact-ID and Pulse 4X2 or Hexadecimal messages to AP70. PC also sends
telephone number to AP70. Since the alarm messages, telephone numbers, and AP70
Control Register for storing programming parameters are stored in non-volatile
memory in AP70, so single ASCII command at RS232C interface starts alarm
reporting process. After AP70 dials a telephone number for a receiver, the
receiver answers the call and transmits the handshake tones. Depending on which
protocol mode that is selected, AP70 transmits one of three protocol messages
to alarm receiver. AP70 sends status messages back to PC. If the alarm
reporting is not successful, AP70 transmits a different status message to PC.
Transmission of alarm messages is repeated for four times if AP70 does not
receive positive acknowledge tone. The whole sequence, which involves
re-dialing of telephone number, may be repeated for three times. AP70 contains
audio monitor internally to hear dialing process, handshake signals, alarm
signal transmission, and acknowledge tone/kiss-off tone. AC/DC adapter for
117VAC and interfacing cable between PC and AP20 is provided. International
AC/DC power adapter is available as an option. Alarm receiver with FXS and FXO
ports, model LS15E+TRIPLE, with all three protocols, Contact-ID, SIA-Format,
and Pulse 4X2, is available for your alarm receiver/simulator.
Dialing into cellular communication
with long kiss-off tone delay up to six seconds works great for all Micro Seven
telephone dialers, AP15-5, AP70-1 and AP72!
AP70+
adding Ethernet interface provides sending DC09 encrypted alarm messages for
all three protocols.
SPECIFICATIONS
RS232C
interface: 9600 baud,
no parity, and 8-bit character, no handshakes
There are no RS232C data communication
handshakes available for AP70 with CTS, RTS, XON, and XOFF.
If the AP70 Control Register bit 5 is cleared to enable
nonvolatile memory operation for storing telephone numbers with “Dxxxx” commands and alarm messages for Contact-ID messages with “S***************”, minimum 10 milli-second delay is required
between data inputs
regardless the AP70 firmware monitor is disabled or not.
Kiss-off
tone receiving window after transmission of Contact-ID messages: 6.6
second maximum for extra time needed for cellular communication
DTMF
tone frequencies:
Transmitting DTMF tone
frequencies at AP15 and AP70 are accurate within -0.027% of the specifications.
And their transmitting DTMF tones amplitude is selected for high or low power
output level (see AP15 control register below for programming transmission
level).
The measured DTMF frequencies
for the factory default values are as follows while the standard values are in
parenthesis:
696 Hz (697Hz), 769Hz (770Hz), 851Hz
(851Hz), 941Hz (941Hz), 1212Hz (1209Hz), 1334Hz (1336Hz), 1481Hz (1477Hz), and
1633Hz (1633Hz)
In AP70, frequencies of DTMF
tones are programmable using new “ap15progV2.0.exe” for +/- 1% to +/- 5%, i.e.
The frequency of 697 Hz is adjustable between 662 Hz and 732Hz for eleven
steps. The frequency of 1633Hz is adjustable between 1551Hz and 1715Hz for
eleven steps. The programming of DTMF tone frequencies allows evaluation of
Contact-ID alarm receivers.
Telephone number entry: D<telephone number-maximum fifteen
digits><CR>
for example D5035551212<CR> for dialing 5035551212. Note <CR> is a
carriage return.
Warning: each telephone number digit must be 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9,
*, #, or , (comma). Note: comma adds two seconds delay between digits.
Alarm message entry for Contact-ID or Pulse 4X2:
S( in maximum 15 ASCII characters for Contact-ID or 6 ASCII characters for
Pulse 4X2)<CR> for Contact-ID or Pulse 4X2
Note: AP70 prepares checksum at the end of string for Contact-ID.
Warning: ASCII character for Contact-ID must be 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, B, C, D, E, or F. All other character may result in failed transmissions. Please note that ‘A’ is an illegal character for Contact-ID alarm message.
Warning: ASCII character for Pulse 4+2 must be 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9. All other character may result in failed transmissions.
Alarm
message entry for SIA-FORMAT:
Because
alarm message for SIA-FORMAT contains binary number, input requires hexadecimal
number. It is memory write command for storing memory address 0D0H or 0xD0. The
memory address is 0D0h, 0D1H, 0D2H, 0D3H, 0D4H------. The end of message is
indicated by 0FFH.
For example, sending an address block data of 46 23 30 30 30 31 31 31 31 requires the following:
KD046KD123KD230KD330KD430KD531KD631KD731.
Note: The column parity byte is automatically prepared and attached at the end
of message by AP70.
New entry format is also
available to enter hexadecimal notation with ‘S’ header as follows:
S(hexadecimal two character
ASCII) (hexadecimal two character ASCII)-----.
For example, sending an address block data of 46 23 30 30 30 31 31 31 31 requires the
following:
S0623303030313131<CR>
Note: The column-parity byte is automatically prepared and attached at the end
of message by AP70.
Protocol selection:
W7F00 for selecting
Contact-ID, W7F01 for selecting SIA-FORMAT, or W7F02 for selecting Pulse 4X2.

AP70 CONTROL REGISTERS:
DTMF Register
DTMF
Register in non-volatile memory determines on and off times of DTMF generation
of alarm messages.
Each
increment is 10 ms, and the factory default condition is 5 for 50ms on and off
timing. Ademco specification limits 50ms minimum and 60 ms maximum. The command
format is:
MA5
n1 n2
For
example, MA506 selects 60 ms on/off times.
The
content of DTMF Register may be done by "RA5", and AP15-3 outputs
"06".
Tone detect register
Tone
detect register is threshold value for detecting handshake and kiss-off tones
for long-distance telephone calls.
Control Register, which resides in
non-volatile memory, is one byte data memory in AP15-3. It is written by the
following command:
MAC
n1 n2, where n1 n2 form one byte in hexadecimal notation
Note:
"MACB0" programs the factory default conditions.
Status
of the control register is performed by entering "RAC", and AP15-3
generates "50".
Bit
7: "1" selects higher signal power output (0 dBm) for alarm message,
and "0" selects lower signal power output (-12 dBm). The factory
default is "0" to select –12dBm.
Bit
6: "1" disables input signal amplification (x4) for detecting weak
handshake and kiss-off tones, and "0" enables input signal
amplification. The factory default is "0".
Bit
5: "0" enables storing telephone number and Contact-ID alarm messages
in non-volatile memory. Default value is ‘1”.
Bit
4: "1" disables detection of busy tone, and "0" enables
detection of busy tone. Note; The busy-tone detection when enabled is between
time period for 2.5 seconds after the end of dialing. The factory is
"1" for disabling busy-tone detection.
Bit
3: "1" selects rotary-pulse dialing, and "0" selects DTMF
dialing of telephone numbers. The factory default is "0" for DTMF
dialing.
Bit
2: "1" disables re-dialing of telephone numbers when "MESSAGE
FAILED" is generated. "0" enables re-dialing of telephone number
for maximum times. The factory default is "0" for re-dialing
telephone numbers when "MESSAGE FAILED" is displayed.
Bit
1: "1" keeps telephone line off-hook after successful delivery of
alarm messages. "0" enables hanging up the line after successful of
alarm messages. The factory default is "0" for hanging up the line.
Bit
0: "1" disables re-dialing telephone numbers when message "CALL
FAILED" is displayed. "0" enables re-dialing telephone numbers.
The factory default is "0" for re-dialing telephone numbers.
